In the fictional world of the Transformers, protoforms are "basic frames" of a past or future transformer placed in stasis until a suitable form can be found. Protoforms played a major part in the Beast Wars saga, as the Axalon was carrying several protoforms in stasis, which it ejected before crashing to Earth.

Protoforms are already inbued with a spark (Self-awareness, life essence) before being placed into a stasis pod, although occasionally one is found without a spark, these are refered to as blanks. Stasis pods are also rather delicate, and the slightest damage can damage the protoform's memories. As a result, of the protoforms activated during the Beast Wars, only Rampage has any memory of life before going into stasis. It is likely that the others also had lives on Cybertron, as all Transformers who emerge from the pods are more mature than Cheetor.

It is unknown in what era of Cybertronian history protoform technology became available.

It was implied in the television series and Wreckers comic book that some of the Cybertonians in the statis pods were criminals who were being shipped off planet. This was the case with Packrat (a master thief) and Protoform X (aka Rampage, a serial killer).

In the Beast Wars: The Gathering mini-series, Magmatron travels to the past and activates all of the remaining protoforms, which seem to number in the dozens. All of these troops represent all of the Beast Wars toys that never made it into the series.
